eSignatures and Digital signatures. \u00a0What’s the difference? \u00a0An electronic signature is a symbol that says that a person has agreed to sign a document. \u00a0A digital signature is stronger in that it attaches a secure certificate to the symbol that verifies the identity of the signer.<\/p>\n
